This week sees an impressive list of heavy-hitters make a late December showing as Clint Eastwood and Peter Jackson deliver their latest, Werner Herzog assembles the unlikely pairing of Udo Kier and Verne Troyer, and Tom Ford unveils his directorial debut.
Hilary Duff adds the title of executive producer to her résumé by backing the feature debut of veteran music video director Nancy Bardawil. After demonstrating a dark side on "Gossip Girl" this season, Duff continues to shed her good girl image as a rebellious 17-year-old who proves to be too much of a handful for her mother (Melissa Leo) and is sent off to spend the summer on Jersey Shore with her grandparents (Ellen Burstyn and Michael Murphy), to whom she promises she will kill herself by her 18th birthday. In the midst of plotting her suicide, she begins a romance with a troubled short-order cook »

6 December 2009 1:17 PM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
In the 1950’s, a western TV show called Rawhide hit Us airwaves. One of several series about the old west, it captivated adults and children alike. Rawhide featured an ensemble cast of largely unknown actors, including a young man named Clint Eastwood. Eastwood had appeared in TV and film before, but it was here he really found fame. After Rawhide ended, Eastwood made a handful of TV shows and movies, until his big break came along. Sergio Leone’s A Fistful of Dollars and it’s follow ups made Eastwood into an icon. He went on to play numerous tough guy parts, invariably a cowboy or cop, and was very successful.
He made his directorial debut early on, often combining his newfound talent with his acting. He met with mild success until his 1992 western Unforgiven. It was hailed as one of the best westerns of all times, and gained Eastwood alot of credibility. »

National Board of Review goes crazy for Clooney and Clint again ... Will disaster follow at the Oscars?
3 December 2009 3:07 PM, PST | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
The National Board of Review continued its love affair with George Clooney and Clint Eastwood when unveiling award winners today. Clooney's "Up in the Air" reaped prizes for best picture, lead actor (Clooney), supporting actress (Anna Kendrick) and adapted screenplay (Jason Reitman, Sheldon Turner). Its helmer, Reitman, was cheated out of the director's award by Nbr fave Clint Eastwood ("Invictus"). "Invictus" star Morgan Freeman tied Clooney for the lead actor's laurels. Two years ago Clooney won best actor for "Michael Clayton." His "Good Night, and Good Luck" was voted best picture of 2005. Clint's "Letters From Iwo Jima" won best picture of 2006 and "Mystic River" best flick of 2003. Last year he won best... »

Warner Bros. to release 35 Clint Eastwood films in special DVD collection; list of movies
1 December 2009 11:52 AM, PST | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
On February 16, 2010, Warner Bros. is planning to release a 19-disc collection of 35 films that were either acted, directed, or both, by Clint Eastwood. The package is entitled “Clint Eastwood: 35 Films, 35 Years at Warner Bros.,” and will contain features that span from 1968’s Where Eagles Dare to last year’s Gran Torino. The 35th film will be a short documentary by film critic Richard Schickel called “The Eastwood Factor,” which is a play on the original title for Invictus, which was “The Human Factor.”
“I’ve known Clint for most of the time he’s been at Warner Bros.,” said Schickel. “I was fortunate to be able to wander around the Warner lot with him and hear his reminiscences. To be able to show him in the places where he works and lives and feels most comfortable is, I think, a unique opportunity.”
The package has a beginning price of »

Warner Brothers Unveils Massive Clint Eastwood Box Set
30 November 2009 10:49 AM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
So you've got The Dirty Harry Collection, The Man with No Name Trilogy and maybe one of the other previously released Clint Eastwood DVD box sets, but still you need more. More Clint. Well, you must be feeling pretty lucky, punk, because Warner Brothers have just announced plans to release a rather insane collection of Clint Eastwood's films early next year. Clint Eastwood: 35 Films 35 Years at Warner Bros will be a 19-disc set that covers all of his movies released through Warner Brothers between 1968 and 2008, starting with Where Eagles Dare and ending with Gran Torino. This is the kind of thing you usually only see years after someone has passed away, but we all know that Eastwood is still going strong. It's too bad they couldn't get this thing ready in time for Christmas though because I'm sure a lot of dads would probably love to see this under their tree. »

Clint Eastwood DVD Retrospective For Early 2010
30 November 2009 8:45 AM, PST | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
In a pretty amazing (and lucrative) move, it has been announced by Warner Bros. that Clint Eastwood’s back catalogue is going to be available as a giant collection. Details of what is being included remain sketchy, but it starts at the war classic Where Eagles Dare and finishes at Gran Torino. That’s a lot of movies in between. Eastwood, now in his twilight years, but still going strong is one of American cinema’s most brilliant filmmakers. The collection is entitled: “Clint Eastwood: 35 Films, 35 Years at Warner Bros.” Awesome.
Extras include a feature-length documentary by Richard Schikel, a booklet, plus many more! The boxset, at least the Region 1 edition, is out February 16th and costs a fistful of dollars. As it’s very close to Valentine’s Day: Ladies, nothing says “I love you” like an entire collection of Clint Eastwood flicks.
The range looks set to »

Q&A: Emmy Rossum Plans to Name Her Children Oscar, Tony, and Grammy
13 November 2009 8:09 AM, PST | Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news »
Photograph at left by Adam Kuehl. Do you remember what you were doing when you were seven years old? When I was that age, I was playing with Star Wars action figures and seeing how much Bubblicious I could cram into my mouth. But not Emmy Rossum. At the tender age of seven, she was making her professional operatic debut. She performed in Carmen at New York's Metropolitan Opera, and The Damnation of Faust at Carnegie Hall. She shared the stage with Luciano Pavarotti and Plácido Domingo, acting in dozens of productions in six different languages, all before she turned 18. Emmy Rossum is living proof that you probably wasted your adolescence. She's also done pretty well for herself as a young adult. Remember when child actors used to burn out on drugs and become tabloid fodder? Rossum decided to skip the Drew Barrymore fuck-all-of-you-i-want-more-pain-meds stage of her career and move directly into making movies. »

Salt Trailer Starring Angelina Jolie (in English)
4 November 2009 11:53 AM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Earlier this week, a Russian trailer for the upcoming Angelina Jolie action-thriller Salt found its way online, but was quickly pulled down by Sony... and really, who wants to see a low-quality, dubbed version of a trailer anyway? (A lot of people... I know.) Today they have debuted the first domestic trailer for the film over at Yahoo! [1], and although it looks fairly action-packed, I can't say there is anything all that noteworthy about it either. Is Angelina Jolie really the biggest current female action star? It seems weird to say that, but I guess her filmography proves it. Either way, I'm sure they're hoping to attract fans of Wanted with this one. The production history on Salt has kind of a weird twist in that Tom Cruise was originally supposed to star in the lead role (and not in drag). Somewhere along the way they rewrote the story so »

Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin to host Oscars
3 November 2009 12:58 PM, PST | Filmicafe | See recent Filmicafe news »
Oscar organizers on Tuesday named an unlikely pair of hosts for March's Academy Awards, comedian Steve Martin and "30 Rock" star Alec Baldwin, a past loser at the world's top film awards.The choice of Martin and Baldwin comes as a mild surprise on the heels of last February's Oscar telecast hosted by song-and-dance man Hugh Jackman. It earned some favorable reviews and higher viewership than the previous year.The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which gives out the Oscars, had previously hired "Hairspray" director Adam Shankman to co-produce and, based on Jackman's success and Shankman's history making musicals, the betting had been that organizers might aim for another music-oriented telecast.But Martin is known as a stand-up comedian and comic actor, while Baldwin's reputation was built in theater and film dramas like 2003's "The Cooler," which earned him a best supporting actor nomination. »
Top 7 Films Directed by Actors Turned Directors
30 October 2009 4:34 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
We start the Top 7. You finish the Top 10.
The old joke is that all actors want to direct. Though it’s maybe not true of all, I still had plenty to choose from in making this list. The directors on this list all started life as actors, some still are, but I’d argue that they’re better known as directors. This month, two well known actresses have tried their hand at direction, Drew Barrymore with Whip It (which was a great movie, I have no idea why it did so badly) and Natalie Portman doing a segment of New York I Love You. Who knows, maybe one (or both) has a second career around the corner.
7. A Woman Under the Influence (1974)
Directed by John Cassavetes
Recap: A portrait of family in crisis when a woman (Gena Rowlands) goes mad and her husband (Peter Falk) tries to understand it.

Penn Plans Movie In Venezuela
29 October 2009 3:01 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actor/director Sean Penn is planning to shoot a new movie in Venezuela, the country's President Hugo Chavez has revealed.
Penn shared his plans with the controversial leader during a meeting on Wednesday at the presidential palace in the capital Caracas.
The movie will be based on Cuban author Alejo Carpentier's 1953 novel The Lost Steps.
Speaking on state television Chavez says "(He) told me was very interested in a film project... that would most likely be shot in part in Venezuela."
The Mystic River actor has been heavily criticised for his connections to Chavez and former Cuban leader Fidel Castro.
Penn will be writing about his trip to Cuba and Venezuela as part of an upcoming Vanity Fair article. »
Shutter Island Third Trailer
28 October 2009 11:07 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Back in June of this year the first trailer appeared for Shutter Island, Martin Scorsese’s latest collaboration with favorite leading man, Leonardo DiCaprio. It was creepy-as-hell and solidified it on my list of most anticipated movies of 2009. Unfortunately a couple of months later news hit that Paramount had moved the release date from October 2nd this year to February 19th next year. As a movie fan – as well as a follower of daily movie news – that ranks right up there with the most annoying things to happen.
A second theatrical trailer surfaced at the start of last month that even though it wasn’t as effective the first (maybe it was the initial exposure to the creepy material that lead to the effect it had on me) but nonetheless made it look great. And now we have a third Shutter Island trailer for your viewing pleasure, which is basically »

Matt Damon Trailer Double-Bill: ‘Green Zone’ & ‘Invictus’
28 October 2009 10:29 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Just recently a couple of trailers appeared online for two highly-anticipated films starring Matt Damon: Paul Greengrass’ Green Zone and Clint Eastwood’s Invictus. They are very different types of movies – Green Zone being like Bourne set during the Iraq War and Invictus looking like one of those biopics that is clearly “Oscar-ish.” Check out both of the trailers below.
Green Zone reunites the Bourne director Paul Greengrass and star, Matt Damon, and is a war-drama/thriller about about a pair of CIA agents on the trail of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. We reported back in the summer of this year that Green Zone had been moved from a late 2009 release to March 12th, 2010, leading to some confusion over that why, as the film seems like prime material for the Oscars.
However, as you’ll see in the trailer below – much as was the case »

Action-packed trailer for 'Green Zone' hits!
28 October 2009 1:15 AM, PDT | screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news »
Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon return to big-screen action in "Green Zone," and as this new trailer for the film suggests, it pretty much looks like a Jason Bourne flick taking place in Iraq during the war.
Still, as you can see below, "Zone" looks action-packed and intense, and as long as it's as original and vibrant as the Bourne films, I'm totally in. After all, Greengrass is a a director I very much appreciate.
On top of that, Damon always looks good in action roles like these, and the guy behind the screenplay isn't a nobody either. It's Brian Helgeland, who worked on "Mystic River" and "L.A. Confidential." »

Penn To 'Interview Castro For Magazine Article'
26 October 2009 1:11 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Sean Penn has jetted to Cuba to interview Fidel Castro for a newspaper article, according to local reports.
The Oscar winner - who has come under fire for his support of the anti-u.S. revolutionary and his president brother Raul - is claimed to have flown to the communist country to discuss how U.S. President Barack Obama's administration has affected Cuba.
The interview with the former leader will reportedly be used for an article Penn is writing for America's Vanity Fair magazine.
The Mystic River actor has been heavily criticised for his connections to Castro and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, with a U.S. journalist accusing him of discrediting his good work in the gay community by lending his support to the controversial politicians. »
Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant (review)
22 October 2009 8:20 PM, PDT | www.flickfilosopher.com | See recent FlickFilosopher news »
John C. Reilly as a vampire? I thought: How can that not be funny? And it is funny, in a gentler, more unassuming way than you might expect from a movie by screenwriters Paul Weitz and Brian Helgeland, who’ve collectively given us dark and brooding (Helgeland’s The Order and Mystic River) or sharp and satirical (Weitz’s American Dreamz and About a Boy) but never anything so modest in scope and ambition as this inoffensive and subsequently bland fantasy. Bland fantasy? That’s just sad. »
